In 1943 she was appointed as instructor in pharmacology at the University of Liège, and in 1945 she became a neuropsychiatrist at the department of internal medicine.
In 1957 Louis-Bar and her husband moved to Brussels, where she spent the remainder of her career devoting herself to persons with mental handicap.
